I'm fairly sure Halisaurus was smaller, with a maximum length of only 10 feet. Platecarpus was pretty small too. -- 24.36.130.109 ( talk) 00:49, 26 November 2012 (UTC) reply

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Clidastes's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 00:47, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply
